The Clinical Need & Challenge

  • Aromatherapy is already an acceptable mode of non-invasive practice in many hospitals, and is used to reduce nausea, anxiety, and pain in some patients.
  • Some hospitals provide limited aromatherapy through in house pharmacy services. Current process relies on large multi dose bottles as a delivery system, leaving aromatherapy underutilized.
  • Need for easy to use way to incorporate aromatherapy in the clinical setting.

The Clinical Answer

  • Smellease presents an easy-to-store and easy to-use-solution to facilitate on demand, single serve aromatherapy in clinical settings
  • Clinical Trial Summary: Nurses' perception favored use of single packet delivery method of aromatherapy. High ease of use for single-packet version. Perception that aromatherapy is effective in use in perioperative setting (4.4/5)
